  • 3D + export workflow advice?

    Posted by Tom Sanders on June 4, 2011 at 5:39 pm

    I have a repetitive task before me, for which the best workflow I can come up with seems convoluted, time-consuming and error prone. Can anyone suggest a simple workflow for this?

    I have several short sequences, each with multiple tracks of 3D footage (shot w/2 cameras, matching TC). The cuts presently contain only the left eye. I need to:

    1) Create a matching edit for the right eye

    2) Export each shot:
    a) left side, quicktime, with handles
    b) right side, quicktime, with handles
    c) left side, dpx sequence, with handles
    d) right side, dpx sequence, with handles

    Looks pretty straightforward when I describe it, but it seems to require too many steps and is taking me forever.

    What’s the smart way to do this?

    Ok, I feel stupid. Rather obvious, once I looked at it written out.

    Multiclip the left and right; automagically creates the b-cut!
    Export qt’s.
    Run the qt’s through compressor (with Glue Tools) for the DPX.

    done.
